Would you like to know which edible and medicinal plants are possible to find in Amsterdam in the middle of winter? Want to know how to supplement your diet for free from local plants? How to make simple remedies and first aid treatments from them? And would you like to know about the local poisonous plants? Great! Then, join me for a walk in Park Frankendael and let me show you what’s around, even in the colder part of the year; Learn how to identify delicious and nutritious plants, how to ethically harvest them, and how to use them.

The walks will start and end at the same location, near the bike racks closest to Huize Frankendael/Restaurant Merkelbach. We will walk in the woods, alongside water, on grass and other areas of the park – including the foraging gardens. The walk will go ahead in all weather except storms, so dress for it 🙂 You will receive a handout to help you remember the plants and uses afterward and we will drink herbal tea from herbal finds. If you want to forage, please bring along a small paper or cotton bag to take home some herbs and seeds. The walk is gentle and fairly slow, the paths are mostly natural, of woodchip or soil. There is a public toilet in the park. Come prepared to connect simply with urban nature.

Who am I?
My name is Lynn Shore, I have been teaching urban foraging and self-sufficiency skills, in Amsterdam for over 14 years and have been running a city foraging garden for the past 10 years. I am a fully qualified herbalist and a proud member of the Association of Foragers. Over the years, I have led walks for large and small groups (including Greenpeace), work with top bartenders, restaurants, eco-friendly businesses, and community groups. This coming April I will take part in a research project where I will live only on foraged food for the month to study the effects on the body. My Master of Public Health degree specialised in Urban Food Security and all of my work aims to connect city people with nature – to improve health, wellbeing and the environment. I am passionate about this and love teaching others how to do it. This walk is in English – I also speak Dutch.
